Description
Hey,
I'm planning on doing a fresh install of Sierra. Can I just backup my /Library/Application Support/Keybase folder and then put it back once I reinstall Keybase from Brew post rebuild? This way it should retain my keys and provisioned system data right?

Research direction
The issue concerns backing up /Library/Application Support/Keybase before reinstalling macOS Sierra and restoring it after installing Keybase from Brew. Start by reviewing the Keybase macOS data and recovery documentation; done would require a documented, confirmed answer about whether this preserves keys and provisioned system data.
